... Still umming and ahhing about this. Truth be told, despite previous claims to the contrary (in responses to Glen 'flyingkiwi') I am slightly apprehensive about going on a proper ride-out, after the fall many moons ago in Wales. Admittedly I barely knew the Falco then, and I've done my fair amount of miles since, but mostly highway hacking and commuting. If Jay doesn't mind me plodding along at my own pace on the way up, and all and sundry humour me when we get to the main event, I might still be in. The weather looks ok at least.

The ones I've ridden with are a sensible bunch when out in a group. I'm not going to be out to set any lap records, come, it'll be fun.

Plus I know an excellent pasty shop :)

My view dude is as long as we all know way points in case people get separated by traffic or whatever the rest is a chill out type thang :)

Heck it's so chilled that Mart is bringing a sofa!

Plus I like to go slow do I can look out for ice cream shops ... There's a nice one in Tideswell ;)

So ice cream pasties and like minded folk sounds like a must to me :)

10ish at Leek for 11ish at Buxton?
What's an antipodean? Sounds like something from Norfolk.

We still on for tomorrow ladies? Met office says showers in morning dying out theoughout the day and remaining cloudy. Kiwi if you ate coming and it starts hailing stair rods we can make a run back to mine and we can put you up if you need it. Will throw you out on Sunday though ;)

I'm still up for it. Even blowed up my tyres and lubed the side of the tyre and the swingarm and the slabs and a bit of the chain.

Good job you mentioned that I had forgotten as I was concentrating on ordering my new roadsmarts in time for tomorrow luckily the local guy had one set of 120/70 180/55 or 50 never can get that right ... For 239 fitted so sorted thinks I

Well unluckily I then made the mistake of asking the price of the roadsmart 2"s ...only 38 £ extra he says so I will be there on my shredded rubbers the 2 "s don't arrive til Monday.
Meaning I will have to remember to check them in the am ... See I got back to the point :)

Ready to roll. Buxton forecast is for light rain/showers, late morning - early afternoon. Suggest we camp out in Morrisson's cafe until the the weather improves.
